The Super Cyclone Amphan.
20.05.2020
Cyclone Amphan is the most terrifying and powerful storm. Such deadly storms have never been seen in the last 20-25 years. This cyclone Amphan is considered to be a super cyclone. This cyclone Amphan gradually increases its speed as the wind blows in the morning and its speed becomes very strong in the evening.
According to our Alipore Meteorological Department office in Kolkata, the cyclone Amphan has a wind speed of 190 kmph. And in the coastal areas it was around 150-60 kilometers per hour. This super cyclone Amphan has hit us hard on West Bengal and Odisha.
This cyclone has hit our North 24 Parganas and South 24 Parganas in West Bengal. Other districts in West Bengal have also been hit hard. A lot of damage has been caused by this super cyclone Amphan.
The trees have been smashed, power lines have been cut off all around, electricity pillars have been uprooted somewhere, tree stalks have been broken and lying on the road, someone's car has been uprooted by trees on the house. This storm has destroyed many things.
After the power line was cut off, it took a long time for electricity to come to the house. Again it took more than 1 month for electricity to come to some villages. The lives of the people living in the coastal areas of the sea have been severely damaged.
The storm caused the sea water to crash into the coast with big waves, destroying the houses living there. Somewhere the rice of the house has been blown away and many people have died.
Our government has provided a lot of relief and financial assistance to these affected people. These super cyclone storms originally originated in the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh.
The Hatiyara district of Bangladesh has also been submerged. This super cyclone Amphan showed nothing to the infinite power of nature. Nature can do what it wants.
Coastal areas in West Bengal comprising East Midnapur, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, Kolkata, Hooghly and Howrah as well as Odisha were affected by the cyclone. It also caused significant destruction in Bangladesh.
